This splendid city was once a bastion of progressive thought and unrestrained experimentation built on a rediscovery of the nearly-forgotten knowledge of the ancient ones.Īs I’ll show in a moment, the dichotomy of Carsultyal, that being progression built on the conservation of cultural fundamentals, is expressed throughout the story in the relationship between Kane and Dwassllir. He was originally attracted to Carsultyal for its grandeur, it being mankind’s first truly great city. The beginning of the story finds Kane leaving the city of Carsultyal with ambition to be anywhere else, as far away from the city’s influence as possible. Hopefully this essay will provide me that exercise of self-discovery. I wanted to take a moment of introspection to find out why. “Two Suns Setting” has held a grip on me for a couple of decades now.
